About the time in South Papua
Sunrise today lands at 05:44 and sunset at 05:37 local time, giving 11h 53m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (-8.50, 140.43) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in South Papua.
If you are coordinating from another country, the shortcut is the working window: a normal South Papua day of 09:00–17:00 falls between 00:00–08:00 UTC. Convert your own hours into UTC once and you can tell at a glance whether someone there is likely to be at their desk.
South Papua sits at latitude -8.50, in the tropical band, so day length here swings only a little between midwinter and midsummer — today's 11h 53m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
